Did you sit out on voting in the election?
I did, and I don't regret it. Hillary's loss was baked into the cake the minute the DNC convention was over, even despite Trump's exceptional ability to shoot himself in the foot every other day.
The Technomancer said:The minute you start talking about how your political movement is the one that represents "the people" is the minute my eyes glaze over. Literally every political movement and party thinks they are the one that actually represents the people. But large populations rarely have broad political consensus. Like there's a reason why no democratic nation has a party that consistently gets 80%+ of the vote and firm power.
I'm referring to policies that benefit "the people" versus policies that benefit corporate shareholders, cartels, etc. Studies have shown that over 70% of policies enacted in the last 40 years have been against the will of the majority, but have benefited the wealthy few. THIS is what I mean by Bernie supporting policies that go against the oligarchs and their political puppets, and in favor of 90+% of Americans who are struggling these days.
